Two diplomats and their drivers are admitted at Machakos Level 5 Hospital after they were involved in an accident on the Nairobi-Mombasa highway. The Tuesday evening accident occurred at Lukenya in Athi River, Machakos County. They were on their way to Nairobi from a meeting at Maanzoni Lodge in Athi River, a short distance from the scene of the incident. Athi River traffic commander Moses Kimeli told the Star on the phone that the accident occurred after the lorry's driver defied orders from police escorting the diplomat to pave way. Despite the officers' efforts to make the lorry's driver stop and give way for the diplomat's cars, he refused to stop leading to the accident," said Kimeli.
